Creamy Mississippi Chicken Enchiladas
These creamy Mississippi chicken enchiladas take creamy, cheesy slow cooker Mississippi chicken, flavored with pepperoncini and ranch dressing, to a new level. Shredding the chicken and making baked enchiladas is the obvious next step.
Benne Wafers
I live in the South, where people refer to these sesame seed cookies as benne wafers. Toasting benne (sesame) seeds develops their flavor and gives these cookies a slightly crunchy texture. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container.
Chef John's Peach Blackberry Flognarde
I was looking around for a name for this unusual clafoutis-like combination of peaches, blackberries, thyme, and black pepper. I saw an article that said in France a clafoutis that uses fruit other than cherries is called a flognarde. I enjoy saying flognarde so much that I think even if this recipe hadn't come out as well as it did I would still make it regularly, just to say 'flognarde'.
